I have seen my overall refund go DOWN as I add expenses, and read some of the rationale on this website. Sounds like as you pass through various adjusted income levels the overall tax liability can go the wrong way for the taxpayer entering expenses.
Does TurboTax come in at the end and tell me when I should NOT take which expenses to optimize my refund?
Is there anything in the TurboTax algorithm that comes in at the end. My fear is that I either won't enter all the items and should have, backing off because I saw it go down part way through the process, OR that I put all the information in and cost myself, and forget to pull something back out after. Help!
